Vent Thread

@Zaknel  
Wow, that’s a lot.
 
Yeah, you should definitely save it.

@UrbanMysticDee  
Enjoying the tropical storm that spawned out of the god damn ether. It only just let up.

@Officer Hotpants  
Speaking of storms, 8 more inches of fucking snow is supposed to drop tomorrow. It took three whole days, a convenient neighbor, and a backhoe to get out the first time, I can’t do this anymore. Global warming my ass. This looks like it will be the snowiest year in my life. I can only imagine what the heating bill is going to be.

@UrbanMysticDee  
In the UK it’s 0. Because they all have cold hearts!

@UrbanMysticDee  
Global warming causes an increase in humidity first and increase in temperature second, so yes, you’d be getting complete lack of snow if it was global cooling.

I got an update on my Grandma she’s now in a nursing home after she fell at home a couple of times.

@UrbanMysticDee  
The globe is warming, it’s hard to tell if humans are having too much of an effect on that.
 
The Sun however, is currently going into a Solar Minimum Period…so I hope the earth is warming, otherwise we might be entering a flash ice-age in a couple of decades.

@FeatherTrap  
While the data is kinda shit (ft. “if calculated values don’t match the experiments, too bad for the experiments” kind of “”“science”””), we were on track for an ice age already when that was halted by rise of temperature.

@Barhandar  
I believe that the global temperature is probably increasing. I live in Australian Summers, I know how unbearable it’s been lately.
 
The factor I don’t get satisfactory answers on are The Human Element. All available sources of information about the past, planetological analysis, historical records, even biblical references if you care to count it, all of them indicate that Earth has gone through very drastic temperature and climate changes throughout it’s long history.
 
Human pollutants have only been around for a relativity short period of time, so I would need to see evidence of just how dramatic a shift has been caused in that short time. I am never given such evidence, I am told it’s totally happening and all muh experts agree, but they won’t bother sharing any of the data with me because I’m a “Climate-Change Denier”.
 
As for the evidence and predictions I have access to, they’ve all been wrong so far. Remember that global famine that was supposed to occur decades ago that never did? Just watch An Inconvenient Truth again, by 2021 that movie is hilarious in hindsight.

@Barhandar  
It’s amazing how hard it is to work that into some people’s heads. The planet is something like 80% water. What happens when water gets hot?
 
@FeatherTrap  
I suspect we have a notable but ultimately relatively minor effect on things. The Earth has been marked by a constant cycle of extreme warming and cooling throughout its history. I don’t know why people think a couple big-headed apes figuring out how to plant seeds would somehow cause that cycle to cease forever.

@FeatherTrap  
There used to be a lot more rain forests.

@Havoc  
The Arctic was supposed to have melted twelve years ago.
 
Anyone remember when Al Gore said that? I do.

@Barhandar  
I never said there was global cooling, just not warming, and it hasn’t warmed in 20 years. Temperature recording stations are located in urban heat islands that create the illusion of dramatic warming and data is severely fudged to generate more grant money.
 
The snowfall seen this year is at present comparable to the severe winters of 93 and 96. It happens as normal variation that I’ve seen for 30+ years.

@FeatherTrap  
Those people are all full of shit. Gore uses 20 times more energy than a family of 5 and owns a beach house (so does Ovomit) that was supposed to be under water years ago.
 
It’s the most lucrative scam in the history of the world and distracts from very real environmental problems like depletion of ground water and phosphate deposits, disappearing fisheries, habitat loss, and endless and accelerating production of non-biodegradable garbage.

@Officer Hotpants  
Imagine being so consistently wrong about every prediction you’ve ever made for over fifty years, and yet you still keep getting criminally exorbitant amounts of state money.
 
Now you know what it’s like to be an Environmentalist Thought Leader.

@Havoc  
Rainforests are a closed system. Also, moo.
 
@UrbanMysticDee  
Meanwhile I have seen like two snowy winters since ‘93.
 
@FeatherTrap  
Welcome to people having no fucking memory. Also, isn’t actual science characterized by being able to make accurate predictions? And don’t bullshit me about hidden variables, Newton didn’t know the variables and it didn’t stop him from making accurate slow-motion physics calc.

@Barhandar  
Accurate predictions reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee nazi >.<
 
Science is based on feelings, people in lab coats who say there’s only two biological genders hurts my feelings, they should be banned.
 
That actually happens you know. Scientists are getting crybullied out of their field by the trans-lobby for not following the narrative.

@Barhandar  
Anyone else remember the amazon catching fire last year? I think it was because some pig farmers wanted more land.

@Havoc  
Yeah. I looked into that during the Australian fires to find out what had come of that and couldn’t find a god damn thing. All coverage of it seemed to have just stopped in the middle of the event.

@Officer Hotpants  
I just got bored of hearing “shit’s on fire everyday”.

@Officer Hotpants  
Sounds like Amazon’s fucked then.

I think I got a hernia last night. I’ve lost a lot of weight since November because of probable ulcers (they’ve healed) from almost a decade of NSAID use due to back pain, and from the flu or the coof or whatever serious illness I had in January (that’s mostly cured too) that made it difficult to eat for 3 months. That must have seriously weakened the abdominal muscles because I got a somewhat painful bulge after what I thought was a normal bowel movement. It took a few hours for everything to return to normal so I didn’t get to sleep until 6 AM. The area is no longer swollen and it is soft to the touch again but it still hurts a little. I also had to sleep on my back, which I haven’t done since 2012, and now my back is killing me all day.
 
Injuries just compound on one another until the body falls apart completely. I still think the so called “problem of evil” or the “problem of pain”, which is held as the gold standard atheist argument, is totally shit that’s a strawman based on nothing found in any religion. I’ve studied the world’s religions extensively for 16 years now and none of them believe in an all good God. All religions that have a creator god believe in a god who created both evil and good (Zoroastrianism has both a god of good and a god of evil, which is pretty unique). Certainly the God of the Bible admits to having created both evil and good, and Jesus himself says he’s come to sew division among families, commands us to arm ourselves, and will one-shot the armies of the world at the end of time.
 
It’s also based on a contradiction. If the world is half as bad as the problem of evil suggests then the idea of a good god would have never been conceived. It seems to be a zeroth world problem. It’s not even a first world problem. It’s a problem only the most affluent members of the first world have even the time to contemplate; people who make working and middle class first worlders look like third worlders.
 
It’s also based on a very egocentric view of morality. People project their own values onto reality, assuming their extremely limited, mortal minds are anywhere near equivalent to an immortal, eternal, indestructible, omnipotent, omniscient mind. Humans contemplating suffering is like a dog contemplating why humans are apparently hurting it during life-saving surgery. They create a view of God as Superman who must either instantly solve every problem in the world or else doesn’t exist. It’s by far the most childish perspective I can think of.
 
Suffering has increased my faith in God. God doesn’t show up until you’ve been beaten down and humble yourself. I didn’t understand that when I was an atheist edgelord.

@UrbanMysticDee  
The problem of evil mostly addresses a belief a lot of Christians have. There’s no point attacking what’s in the book when their beliefs don’t actually align with it.

Whenever I watch TV in the living room with my Dad’s in there, he nonstop talks but when he’s watching TV when I’m in there, I can’t say I single word.  
But wait it’s get better, I’m watching a show as he shows up and I tell him to not talk and guess what? He still talks.  
He tells me sometimes to “look at the TV” at certain points but here’s the thing… my eyes are on the TV.

@TheGamerPainter  
Class dad behavior.
